FAQ
Which CSS gradient types are supported?
The generator supports linear, radial and conic gradients, plus repeating variants of each type.
Is the CSS production-ready?
The output is a standalone CSS background declaration using standard gradient syntax, with normalized colours, angles and stop positions.
Does this require a CSS framework?
No. The generated CSS is framework-agnostic.
Can I add more than two colour stops?
Yes. Add up to eight editable stops. Output is sorted by position, while duplicate positions retain their listed order.
Does the text preview prove WCAG contrast?
No. Gradients vary across their surface, so white and black sample text are visual checks only. Use the Contrast Checker for formal solid-colour comparisons.
